SABATON: First ‘Carolus Rex’ Studio Webisode Available

The first in a series of webisodes featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of “Carolus Rex”, the new album from Swedish metallers SABATON, can be seen below. The CD is tentatively due at the end of May via Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented the band: “We felt it was time for America to get something of a special show and this time the release party will be in Los Angeles, California [on May 23 at the Key Club in West Hollywood]. This show will be the only U.S. West Coast show and it will be the world premiere of new songs.”

SABATON will embark on a North American headlining tour in the spring. The “Swedish Empire Tour 2012” will kick off on April 10 in Tampa, Florida.

SABATON bassist Pär Sundström was forced to sit out several shows on the Canadian leg of the band’s most recent North American tour due to a knee injury.

“World War Live: Battle Of The Baltic Sea”, the first-ever live album from SABATON, was released on August 5, 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records.
